Hi everyone ,
Last year , i got a tablet Lenovo S5000-H. It works great , but the wifi signal is so weak.

Hi ,thanks for your answer.
But ,i've tried to change router channels before, and the result is the same. I don't have problem with the gray wifi icon , Mine is always on , but the problem is on the very weak signal reception.

Try this tablet at other hot spots, If the problem follows, the tablet is defective.
